“Fine Art Healing and Health”

This annual show is open to everyone, artists & non-artists to show their art.

Everyone has feelings to express, but they don’t always know what to do with strong, sometimes over whelming emotions. Putting these feelings into artwork is often the answer. Headway of WNY and Impact Artists Gallery will feature speakers that will lead discussions and workshops that educate inspire & promote Art and healing & show and tell how the arts help mental and physical health at free workshops in Feb 2011.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: All media: painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, sculpture, fiber, poetry, journals, bookmaking & video will be included. All 2-D (to be hung on wall) must have a wire or hook on the back for proper hanging to be accepted. Work should express the feelings, emotion, or mood felt in producing the art or evoke it in the viewer. This can be a strong expression or as simple as a feelingof relaxation. Please limit the size of your work to 5‘ wide 7’ high. For large or heavy art, please be there to assist in the hanging or displaying of the art.

Please bring your artwork to the gallery by January 26, 27 & 29, or by appointment. Call first as January hours may vary if the weather causes us to close. Work will be screened, no slides required & no fee.

The number of pieces accepted by each artist will be determined bythe total number submitted to the gallery. Note: we have 1 VCR and TV, and no DVD player. If you need one to display work please call to arrange or bring one.
